Lene me this somme, or ellis moot I deye.
Daun John, I seye, lene me thise hundred frankes.
Pardee, I wol nat faille yow my thankes,
If that yow list to doon that I yow praye.
For at a certeyn day I wol yow paye,
And doon to yow what plesance and service
That I may doon, right as yow list devise.
– Geoffrey Chaucer
The Canterbury Tales, The Shipman’s Tale. The merchant’s wife pleads with the monk to lend her one hundred francs to pay a debt. With heavy sexual overtones, she promises in return to do to him whatever pleasure and services that he commands.
